"VICTORIA EARLE"

There is no question but intel
llgent colored women of our race
should become adopts in Journal
lem, as much so as white women.
The latter possess no more brain
faculties than the former, even If
their social and racial advantages
are superior. Regardless of the
color of toe skin, brains and pluck
will win everyfime in the race of
life and our young colored ladies
should remember that fact. Jour
nalism is the most independent
and |. fly profession and one
that in itself commands the respect
of nations and their inhabitants.
We are pleased to mention in this
issue "Vietolia Earle" (Mrs. E.
Victoria Matthew'S of New York,
whose able pen is daily winning
for her a most prominent position
in the world of letters and finance.
That she is a Journalist In every
sense the term implies, goes with

1t is the object OF the movers of this

editors as those Arkansas Sun, De

Cleveland will not live through

We desire to suggest that Mr..
Cleveland is the liveliest dead man
one would want to tackle at this
time and if he is uot renominated
by the democratic party, he will
prove an earthquake to all of his
opposers. We believe in giving
man credit for what he docs. What
is it that our contemporary wants
Mr.. Cleveland to do? We find no
fault In him and the sooner our
contemporaries learn how to act
like civilized people and in a judi
cious manner the better it will be
for the race.

Lincoln's Silver Inkstand.

A relic of Abraham Lincoln is mentioned
in the Chicago Tribune as follows;
Charles ID. Poston has temporarily in his
possession a relic of Abraham Lincoln
which is both a sad reminder of the martyred
President and q work of art. in 1865 Mr.
Poston was the Territorial Delegate i'll Con-
gress from Arizona, which he had recently
aided i'll organizing into a Territory About
the middle of March. when he was ready to
leave Washington, he wished to leave with
the President memento of himself and the
new Territory With that idea in view he
secured 400 ounces of silver from Arizona
and sent it TO Tiffany in New York, with
an order to make it into an inkstand 1t
came in due time, and was quietly placed on
the Presidents private desk while ne was
out for a drive. The inkwell was only used
until April IA, when the assassination took
place, and when Mr.. Poston came to Chi.
cago a short time ago, never having seen or
heard of it afterward, he called upon Mr.
Robert I. Lincoln to learn if it could not be
photographed This disclosed the fact that
it had been lying in a vault for - years,
and, permission having been willingly &C
corded, the original donor secured posses
sion of it long enough TO have it thoroughly
cleaned and photographed Some idea of its
intrinsic value may be gained when it is re-
membered that the 400 ounces of silver
were worth 81 p per ounce when the
stand was ordered and the bill for the work
ON it was 1862. In the centre of the stand
above tine double inlzwell rises a small fac
simile of the dome of the Capitol at Wash
ington, surmounted by the Goddess of
Liberty. This lifts off and becomes a silver
call-bell. This is flanlsed on one side by a
finely executed statuette of Comanche
Indian, and on the other side by figure of
the same size representing Mr.. Poston in
pioneer costume, with rifle in hand. As soon
as the pictures are completed the valuable
relic will be returned to Mr.. Robert Lincoln's
custody.
